As with Burda, I rarely buy Kwik Sew patterns. I really should give both pattern companies more of a chance! I first saw Kwik Sew 3670 on someone’s blog (cannot remember where) and was attracted to the unusual front drape feature and the lack of zips, buttons or other fastenings.
This is view A, tunic length with elbow length sleeves. It was really very simple to assemble, with cut on facings on the front and binding on the back neckline. It’s only four main pattern pieces – front, back, front yoke/sleeves, back yoke/sleeves – plus one for the back neck and one for the sleeve bindings. There are some inset seams at the corners of the yoke/sleeve/body pieces, but if you take it slowly and follow the instructions, it comes together beautifully.
The fabric is Anna Maria Horner’s voile, yet again, although this one is from the Little Folks range. Very pretty. It’s a fairly roomy pattern – I made the medium, which I am happy with, but possibly could have got away with making a small. Kwik Sew, I’m going to check through your offerings more often from now on!
Maybe I’ll wear it at Sew It Together in Sydney this weekend! My bags are packed and I’m ready to go….
